The parry on Lorian is the weirdest one in the game. His blade cant be parried, but the pommel of his sword can be. Edit: there is an elevator to the princes to skip the run back and not fight any enemies 😂😂
Yeah I found that afterward when I was getting that clip of me standing at the top of the stairs lmao. I've got a billion hours in the game and I'm still finding stuff, shit crazy
@@CoachPlague Maybe its an automatic/mods deletion because it included a link to my runs. Sadly l don't date stamp the runs but l did it around mid summer last year. So it's not worlds first done but probably worlds first recorded. I would like if you can change the title. Sadly you didn't do all bosses like me... and l acquired storm ruler much later at yhorm because my dumb ass forgot sieg can just drop it on death.
Fellow challenge runner here, really enjoyed this. Definitely excited to see the DLC and rest of the optional bosses. When I did my SL1+0 run (nearly as nightmarish as this, it looks like), I used a shield for Oceiros. Any shield with 100% block - even if you can't wield it - should be able to prevent 100% damage, even if it guard breaks you. I used my shield for protection against the Oceiros Patent Insta-Charge, the rest of his foolishness is easier to deal with. Let me know if you want any other tips!
You've suffered greatly. Thank you for this sacrifice. Also, I had the same problems of inputs being eaten on Twin Princes, I guess you're right and the effects cause it. Since it loves to happen after the teleport especially. Doesn't seem to be dependent on the specs, mine are way higher than required. It's the game's inner workings. Well, at least I think so.
This man is on another level. Beat the game at level 0 with level 0 stats, beat the game with the PLANK SHIELD in another vid. More people need to witness these levels of dark souls masochism
Awesome! I tried this same run (but I went with 1 in every stat) 2-3 years ago. I got stuck on Aldrich ended up dropping it. Cool to see someone complete this
I like how modest you are. I often see smaller souls challenge runners say "easy" a lot but I like the way you state "I'm typically bad at X". Shows humility. Good watch.
@@CoachPlague While there might not be sl-89 runs on yt (didn't find any with a quick search) one might argue sl-80 isn't too far off (1 in all stats) as it only grants higher defense and resistances, not even health or stamina. I found one of these fairly quick ("Dark Souls 3: The True Level 1 Run" by SpiicyCheeseSauce). Still well done ashen one.
There is a shortcut for twin princes right before the door its dead right and its an elevator that goes down to dsa bonfire (the empty room before the dsa fight)
+1 to Yuno pfp, also low health and stamina is more the problem I am gonna presume, and the most difficult part will be making it around the map, my guess judging from my 9 vigour Elden ring playthrough.
Finally! Another person to attempt and overcome this challenge! I did this several months ago and it was BRUTAL. In my play through, however, I didn't even think to kill Seigward for his Storm Ruler; I went all the way to Yhorm 💀. Without the Storm Ruler, I found the best early game weapon to use was a fire infused shortsword. This is because, while physical damage is reduced from not meeting the stat requirements, the fire damage was not. It also had a low enough stamina cost so you could swing it 4 times before running out of stamina. I then, of course, used the storm ruler, but post-archives I actually preferred the dagger. This is because if you equipped the Knight Ring, the Hunter Ring, and the Carthus Milkring, you can actually just barely meet the stat requirements. It does around ~40 less damage ( + 10 fire infused dagger, +5 storm ruler ) but with the lower stamina cost and faster attack speed, I enjoyed using it more. Anyway, congratulations! As far as I know, this is the only recorded "SL0", "SL-80", "True SL1" play-through out there.
if any haters wanna prove that this isn't the world's first level 0 run, they'll have to make video essay explaining why and provide evidence :3 good run, friend. may the content gods bless you in your endeavors.
11:25 You can run up an armor on the left side of the main bridge coming from the bonfire. Running up the armor and dropping below the bridge doesnt wake the dragons
Not sure about ds3 but I seen something like this in ds2. Without creation character run(all stats 1, souls level negative 52 or so, don't remembered) with gliches.
We want that all bosses sl0 part 2. Also armor would’ve been useful for most of the run but not anymore when everything kills u in one shot even w shield ring on.
in regards to twin princes, idk if you know this but if you turn right before the doors to their arena there's an elevator to unlock a different shortcut which is slighlty slower but allows u to completely skip the enemies
That did cross my mind, but knives and firebombs both scale with strength and dex, so late game I think the most damage I did with either of them was like 8.
@@CoachPlague my brain went straight to proccing bleed with Kukri, but like you said, probably would do about the same damage as 2 hits with a +2 Stormruler
Quick tip from what I have noticed fighting Aldrich : Attacking him when he is not performing an attack make him use his teleportation move. He then can use range attacks. But, if you face him, standing at around 2 meters in front of him, it will often bait a melee attack. By attacking him durings his attacks and repositionning in front of him you can turn this caster into a melee fighter. Also, Can you beat ds3 whithout weapon's upgrade and your base 4 estus charge ?
It's possible to use the Caestus if your willing to sac 3 ring slots. Knight + Hunter + Milk ring gives exactly the minimum stats. A max lvl raw infusion only has 18 less AR than Storm Ruler, would be a lot better for stamina use and recovery frames, + you can use resin.
I thought about doing that, and while it doesn't count as levels, I still thought people might view it as cheating since it makes my stats non-zero, which would be fair imho.
I think after finding a glitch in ds2 that allowed you to skip character creation, making you play as a character with all stats equal 1, there were runs with all ones in ds3, not zeros though.
I do 1920x1080. I'm thinking it's a bit rate issue, especially because when a lot of effects are happening like with vordt, it gets super rough looking. I've been messing with a bunch of settings so hopefully I have it fixed now.
20:55 That hitbox screwed you holy hell. Now I wanna see the framedata on that because that's some Taurus Demon levels of bad hitbox. Not quite Titanite Demon bad perhaps but damn.

a level 1 deprived starts 10 in all.. a character with 0 all is technically level -89
am I missing something? how is this one of the top comments?!
there's 9 stats in the game, not 8. so it'd be -90, not -80
That's in elden ring. You're forgetting vitality.
Elden ring doesn't have vitality
@@Swarthy. yep thanks
This video made me realise, that you can stagger Vordt
I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE
I can't do a one level run on a good day lol, Yet you are here doing zero level. Nice work and banger video.
Thank you!
its actually negative 89, being actual level 0 means removing only one stat from sl1 character
nice run dude, very fun video. you made me wanna go back to trying sl1 +0 all bosses, maybe i'll finally finish it one day now
do negative 89 +0

Yeah I chuckled too
Hope ur video blow up since as you said didnt know that lvl0 even existed
actually negative 89 when you reduce stats

Hey quick little tip for Lorian
Once you enter the fog gate if you don't walk forward he won't teleport behind you and you can walk right up to him.
Skumnut did it on ER, you got the title for ds3 gg!
please do oceiris, nameless king and dlc PLEASE
l did that... demon trio was miserable 9 hours adventure and soul of cinder was 12 hour misery

birds of a feather

Ah my fellow cursed undead, truely one fit to link the fire
congrats, you certainly have more determination than i could to play at sl 0
This is definitely not worlds first, in the challenge run community we call this negative levelling
I did not know that, I tried finding "level 0" runs but couldn't find any. I can't find any ones of someone beating it at -89 either though.

Super cool vid man!
There is a shortcut for twin princes right before the door its dead right and its an elevator that goes down to dsa bonfire (the empty room before the dsa fight)
Imagine there is a literal Demon King and some random guy kicks him when he's low.

wasnt expecting smell of the game, nice
LOVE the vid dude ds3 needs more love
Tip for Lorian when you get past the fog gate don't move and his first teleport shouldn't move him anywhere for some reason.
you are right. i truly thought skumnut did it but he did that for elden ring. good job for being mentally unstable enough to do this
4:05 "because a lot of attacks will oneshot you now"

how do you only have 178 subs. Your videos are fucking great
Fucking underrated af, great job man
Very nice! I've done something similar, with 1 in every stat. The dragonslayer's axe is actually very good despite not having the stats to wield it.

dark souls but me in my semi lucid dreams.
great challenge, would love to see it against the dlc bosses (also personal opinion, nameless on at least on sl1 is easier than soul of cinder)
Here is a like, your suffering goes really well with my afternoon capuccino :D
Bro I have never heard anyone else use Jippy's music except for General Sam lmao
17:20 you can cancel that first teleport by walking backwards as soon as you enter the arena, he will cancel his tp if he cant go behind you
amazing, just amazing

If you stand still when entering the Lorian fight he doesn't teleport, just so you know for future fights.

btw if you enter the twin princes boss room and don't move he won't teleport to you, he'll just teleport to the same place he already is.
this is how my first playtrough felt like lmao

i actually wanted land this one in far 2019, but quitted lol, and in 2020 went to pontiff and stucked) good job btw
boss run to osirus is nothing compared to dark souls 2 boss runs. I still feel the pain from that. :D
in regards to twin princes, idk if you know this but if you turn right before the doors to their arena there's an elevator to unlock a different shortcut which is slighlty slower but allows u to completely skip the enemies
Could consumables have been an option too? Especially if you aren't leveling, you would have plenty of cash to buy firebombs and knives.
